KARAOKE DVD TO VCD

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I USE THE CLADDVD AND TMPGEnc SOFTWARES TO RIP MY KARAOKE DVD AND ENCODE IT TO VCD FORMAT. EVERYTHING CAME OUT OK EXCEPT WHEN I PLAY MY BURNED VCD, THE VOCALS CANNOT BE TURNED OFF WHEN I SELECT (STEREO, LEFT, OR RIGHT). CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO MAKE IT WORK RIGHT? ALL RESPONSES ARE GREATLY APPREICIATED!

Any one who is involved in Karaoke should be shot.

With a CanonEOS that is. The new ones with the 13-megapixel CMOS imaging devices. Anyway, with conventional 2-ch audio (VCD) the only way to separate vocals is to put them on the left channel, so selecting only the right channel is supposed to produce only the minus-one music, albeit mono. With karaoke DVD we can have 5-ch of Dolby Digital; approaches to which channel to use for what are varied. Some titles use the center ch for the vocals with all else the minus-one music (at last the music is now true stereo); some use the L/R for a duet and the center and surrounds for the music. When u rip off such a DVD the concern therefore should be to identify exactly which channels are vocals and which are music. DVD2AVI can process decrypted DVD files and gives you the option of demuxing and outputting all channels in a DD stream to WAV; at the end of processing you can have as many as six *.WAV files. An audio editor is needed to identify/mix which channels to correspond to conventional 2-ch karaoke so that when selecting ST, L, or R later on the VCD you get them correctly. Don't use exclusively capital letters on your messages; that is "shouting".

Hi Quy, why don't you share the solution...?? I too got the problem as yours but still can't solve it.

Please tell me, please....

You need to get both tracks from DVD. Then combine those into one MP3. Left and Right channels have to be different, so that one has the singing and the other not. Then mix that track with the video track. That is it!
